INTRODUCTION. ALMOST FORGOTTEN TERMS AND NOTIONS
DOPING Represents the
usage of some active substances or of some manipulations (physical, chemical)
in order to artificially raise the sports outcome by making superior
performances visibly harming the organism health. Into the
public opinion memory there are the consecutive deaths caused by the usage of
doping, of the Danish cycler E. Jensen at 1960 Rome Olympic Games, of another
cycler T. Simpson in 1967 and of the boxer J.Elze
in 1968, events that leaded to the firm condemnation of these practices by
IOC and MOC (Medical Olympic Commission). In the 70’s these
organizations elaborated a list of doping substances and doping tests which
can reveal the usage of doping even 6 months earlier, have been developed. Bu
the examples can follow till nowadays… Most of the
substances used by the swimmers are the anabolic substances, which,
especially for girls have great effects for the growth of the performance. If you look
carefully you can see that an athlete who used doping has a specific look:
the features of his faces look more like a man, the voice is getting thicken
(those are easier to remark) but the series continue; the consequences of
doping usage are not very well known, years later the athletes become
biologically older, but it’s expected that the ones who used doping will
quickly get older and will be somehow fragile, fact that may make acute banal
crises become chronic illnesses. Doping can
sometimes be tolerated in a wrong way because of some mercantile implication
for which the Olympic Committees don’t respect firm and adequate laws which ban
these practices (Anti-doping World Code, Anti-doping FINA
Rules, etc.) We consider
that is better to “know everything” about doping instead of letting it in the
hands of some amateurs who can be twice harmed (as a practice, as a user of a
special and harmful pharmacological substances). Finally we can say that doping is
a “necessary” bad thing – human knowing will be enriched by this and maybe,
in this way, by education, we may give up, stop this immoral and dangerous
plague. © 2007 Mircea
